"I Fall to Pieces"

When I was 17, I had to go to three funerals in just over three months. This year, it has been three this month and four this year. My grandma passed away early on Monday morning, so it's been a week full of funerals, yellowing photographs, Patsy Cline, glasses of wine and family. Here are just a few of the photos that we pulled from family albums and my grandma's large box of 91 years worth of pictures. Yes, the adorable child in the pink bonnet is in fact me.

This is one of the most recent photos we have, though it's probably about two years old. Grandma adored Jordan, telling me every time I saw her that I found a good one that I shouldn't let slip away. I think I'll take her advice.

I believe this is my great-grandmother, with my grandma (in pink) and some of the many siblings.

My grandparents.
